D, I've been bitten by the soccer bug. Which is weird, because I've worked at union matches on the field, 2 of my cousins were college soccer players, so the game isn't foreign to me.
Since my daughter has taken a love to it, (and softball) I'm watching it every day. I watched 4 premier games and a Mexican league game over the weekend. I'm still trying to get the betting down, but I also went 0-2 on the Knicks and Nuggets last night so fuck do I know?
I love La Salle, it's my school. But if we get squeezed out of the big time college basketball realm, I can fill it with college softball and soccer from everywhere.
I'm trying to see if it's worth buying 5 season tickets for the Union? Yup, the bug has bitten me. I just wish the person fouled in the box had to be the player taking the PK, and accurate stoppage time. My only 2 gripes with the sport. But I'm loving it.

So I've noticed the longer I've watched PL (casually at first then weekly in-depth since ~2015), the less I'm into MLS. The gap in skill is pretty insane, kinda like watching MLB and also watching high-A ball.

Please, please, please, I don't want the Sixers to go star hunting. Look at the remaining playoff teams. They aren't super teams. It's about getting younger and having a deep team... no Lebron, no paul George, no Jimmy Butler (he's my favorite player in the NBA)
We have 2 guys under contract next season, Embiid and Maxey. Build this team right, for once in a decade.

"I'm playing 48 anyway dog. Ain't shit change."
I truly love Josh Hart and I don’t know how to deal with any of this.

The idea that a guy not only plays 48 minutes a game, but that it's just a given now that he's going to, is insane. He gives the credit to Mike & Ike's.

I'm taking the Cs and thunder at -13.5 and -5, respectively.
If I hit this parlay, I'm betting the nuggets at +800 for the series.
If you wanna make omelets, you have to crack eggs.

Celtics are FRAGILE. If the Knicks get healthy, it's not a foregone conclusion that they lose.

Right? People seem to be treating them like some overachieving, lucky-to-be-winning team rather than a #2 seed missing three rotation players, four until Anunoby comes back. They're really good and should be even better.

If OG doesn't sack up and play hurt, it's gonna be Celtics-Pacers... it may sound harsh, but it's playoff basketball.
There are 6 months to rest.

Looking like Nuggets-Twolves is gonna be 2-2
I should've pulled the trigger on the Nuggets at +800 for the series when they were down 2-0.

An oh by the way jumper by LeVert to ruin a 4 team parlay, when I had the Cs -8.5... dribble the clock out!

Mavs advance 117-116. Of course I live bet them at 1.5, and Washington intentionally missed the 3rd foul shot with 2.5 seconds left. I should've live bet them at +9.5 in the 3rd quarter.
Luka needs to shut his mouth and stop talking to refs.

Forget the NBA. Premier League Title is on the line today. I love all the games happening at the same tie on the last day of the season. Need my Man City boys to hold this lead.

Former Sixers fan favorite, Indiana Pacers reserve guard TJ McConnell demonstrated once again today to a national television audience that he is incapable of playing professional basketball and has no business whatsoever playing under contract in the NBA.

I know it's next man up, but I can't remember a time where the Knicks were so devastated by injuries. One after the other. Would have been curious to see where they ended up if they didn't happen. The silver lining for us NYK fans (I know, I know..."BOO!") is that they are now heavily trending upward. Sports talk radio up here has said that this will prove to be the worst season of NYK basketball over the next five seasons. I tend to agree.
